Default RE: Removing tires for a swap

The Lugs on our trucks do hold the centercaps (cover) on and therefore it be easiest to take them off with an impact gun....try to borrow tools as they are expensive and if your a college student like me dont have room to store them. Most(some) cars the cover is held on by fake plastics lugs but not ours...the lugs you see are the real ones. Just make sure you put the cover back on before you put the lugs on (took it to a discount tire to get my tires put on and the guy forgot.....oops)

ORIGINAL: crazy1snow

you should get a torque wrench. i got one for $50 at sears with a lifetime warrenty. (it was on sale from $80). but you really should have your lugs torqued down to 75 ft-lbs.
Did you get the "beam type", or the "clicker" style?
The clicker style only has a 90 DAY warranty, I believe.
